Tefnut
Tefnut () is a goddess of moisture, moist air, dew and rain in Ancient Egyptian religion.〔The Routledge Dictionary of Egyptian Gods and Goddesses, George Hart ISBN 0-415-34495-6〕 She is the sister and consort of the air god Shu and the mother of Geb and Nut. == Etymology == Literally translating as "That Water", the name Tefnut has been linked to the verb 'tfn' meaning 'to spit'〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tefnut )〕 and versions of the creation myth say that Ra (or Atum) spat her out and her name was written as a mouth spitting in late texts.〔The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt, Wilkinson, page. 183 ISBN 0-500-05120-8〕 like most Egyptian deities, including her brother, Tefnut has no single ideograph or symbol. Her name in hieroglyphics consists of four single phonogram symbols t-f-n-t. Although the n phonogram is a representation of waves on the surface of water, it was never used as an ideogram or determinative for the word water (''mw''), or for anything associated with water.
